Reasonable priced straight-edges

[Richard King]

Lately because my straight-edges are back ordered from my foundry, I am telling folks now to check out this company as he makes and sells cast iron camelbacks. He sells casting practically cheaper then what I buy mine from the foundry. Students have brought them to the classes and they are nice and a real deal. He also sells other cast iron parts and teaches woodworking / pattern making classes.

Fwiw Gary Martin is well known in the HSM /Model Engineering world for providing very machinable, fine grain & defect free cast iron castings and has done so for many years. I honestly can't recall ever seeing a forum post with a single complaint about the company or any of their products.

Last I checked Gary Martin was the only source for a set of Quorn castings too. In Scappoose, Oregon next to the mighty Columbia River.

In the US, you mean? Hemingway kits supplies for the UK and probably also ships overseas.

Thanks very much Richard! I shall wait until your class for advice on what length I should get.
